I have to agree... i'd rather have an HST than a 57/66/67 (but maybe not one of the re-engined ones).

Some nice shots there. :)
It's all about the sound!!! :) (Excluding unit's, electric's, kettles and for now 57's, 66's and 67's)

Top-notch photo. I love the light of the sky and the 20 is pin-sharp.

Just got a 5D myself and hope to have "a proper go" this weekend.
